It is no real surprise that DidierPoskin, born into a family ofmusicians, turned towards musicat a very early age. His naturaltalent, together with intensivework, quickly brought out his fullpotential. Didier beganperforming as a soloist at the

age of 13. After attending the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles,he was admitted at the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth, ahighly specialized school known for teaching exceptionallyyoung, talented musicians. During his three years there, hereceived the teaching, support and friendship of Edmond Baert,and soon became one of Baert’s star pupils. Following hisattendance at the Chapelle, Didier Poskin continued to perfectand expand his practical skills, seeking out the help of thegreat cello pedagogues. These masters included WalterGrimmer in Zurich, Maurice Gendron in Paris, and members ofthe Amadeus Quartet at the Musikhochschule in Cologne.Furthermore, he regulary attended masterclasses; notably withPierre Fournier, Reine Flachot, Daniel Chafran, FransHelmerson and Wolfgang Boettcher.

While still at the dawn of his professional career, he wasinvited to become principal cellist with the Royal PhilarmonicOrchestra of Flanders. After being a member of the orchestrafor several years, Didier then turned towards chamber musicand he was asked to join the Verdi Quartet in Cologne. Duringthe ten years with this ensemble, he travelled the world andrecorded many major compositions, in particular the completequartet works of Schubert.
